They will never go away. Ever. I have a HUGE colony growing in and around my compost because that’s where I yeeted the roots I ripped out. I just pulled one out that tried to overtake my parsley. I’m literally looking at one I put in a pot as a type this. And by “pot” I mean “a rusty bucket I drilled a hole in and filled with soil”.
Do not resist. They are eternal. Don’t like full sun though, which strengthens my theory that they’re part vampire.

Hostas are actually considered a delicacy among members of the slug family.

I don’t know but I do know that you found this plant under a Sweetgum tree, telling from the spiky seed husks.

I’m loving all these “what’s this unbelievably common plant?” posts lately, making me feel like a plant genius.

As many others have said, it’s a hosta. But it looks the the MinuteMan Hosta variety to me. I planted one in my backyard last year and it did not do well, but then sprouted back and it looks something like this !

They cannot die. I always dig them up wherever I live. Last time I dug a huge bundle up left it out of the ground, roots facing the sky in full sun for 6 months and it did not die. It kept growing…

Hosts. They’re very nice. They will grow long stalks that will flower. They like shade. They come in many varieties and they will spread every year. When big enough, you can use a shovel to split the plant and make 2 or more plants to move to other parts of your yard.

Off topic slightly but what did you use to take these pictures? If it was a phone, what kind?
Did you know that in the iPhone photo app there is a plant/animal identifier? It even works with screen shots.

Here’s a fun fact about them:
They will never go away. Ever. I have a HUGE colony growing in and around my compost because that’s where I yeeted the roots I ripped out. I just pulled one out that tried to overtake my parsley.
